 progress and imaginative ability more than reading. In my opinion, I believe that both
activities
 are necessary for
children
's development. To commence, off-school
activities
 bring benefits not only in improving physical health but
also
 in learning soft
skills
. It is obvious that
activities
such
 as football, basketball, and tennis help
children
 stay fit and prevent diseases
such
 as diabetes or obesity.
Additionally
, extracurricular
activities
 are likely to be useful in gaining basic daily
skills
.
For example
, if
children
 participate in voluntary work, they could have opportunities to learn communication and caring lessons from people outside their immediate society. At the same time, I
also
 believe that there are numerous undeniable advantages for
overall
 skill development if we encourage students to do more reading.
First,
reading helps individuals develop critical thinking. No matter what material they read (books, newspapers, journals, etc.), these sources usually have logical outlines and clear sentences that often stimulate
children
's independent thinking process.
As a result
, they will generate their own thoughts and will not need to rely on others when making decisions.
Secondly
, people who read more can develop problem-solving
skills
.
Besides
 providing academic knowledge, many books
also
 mention case studies related to that knowledge.
Consequently
, students can find methods to solve problems quickly if they have to face similar circumstances. In conclusion, I assume that both reading and engaging
activities
 will help
children
 develop their
overall
skills
.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
